I& #39;ve wondered why it& #39;s hard for people to face the improving yet still present racism in society. IMO, one answer is unless it& #39;s overt people are uncomfortable calling it racism. That& #39;s why it& #39;s impactful to question the basis behind everything below this line #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">

A common reason given for non-involvement in calling out racism is, "It doesn& #39;t affect me." I think citing lack of priority is valid but to deny the impact of your voice in a position of privilege is either blatant disregard or willful ignorance. #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">

"However, this “few bad apples” mentality conflates the executive function of police with the humanity of the officers themselves and thereby disregards, if not completely ignoring, the bureaucratic, carceral, executive apparatus in which police officers work." #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">

The quote from the tweet above, in this thread about resistance to #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> (from allies and opposition alike), is from this article. It also suggests certain methods of critical justice reform (some radical). https://medium.com/idle-thoughts/policing-and-the-few-bad-apples-myth-41b0eb67387b">https://medium.com/idle-thou...
